Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 49:11

_ _ my — All things are God’s.

_ _ mountains a way — I will remove all obstructions out of the way (Isaiah 40:4).

_ _ exalted — that is, cast up (Isaiah 57:14; Isaiah 62:10); for instance, over valleys. Vitringa explains “mountains” as great kingdoms, Egypt, Syria, etc., subjected to Rome, to facilitate the spreading of the Gospel; “highways,” the Christian doctrine wherein those who join the Church walk, and which, at the time of Constantine, was to be raised into prominence before all, and publicly protected (Isaiah 35:8, Isaiah 35:9).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 49:7-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 49:11

A way — I will remove all hindrances, and prepare the way for them, by levelling high grounds, and raising low grounds.
